ems and Mount Vernon Barracks, the
report says that up to this time it has
been a difficult matter to find for them
permanent home. For many rea-
sons it is impossible to return them to
Arizona, under the existing laws they
cannot be taken to the Indian Terri
tory, and in the Northern reservations
the climate is too cold for them. The
report refers brit fly to the difficulty in
August last in Colorado between the
State authorities and Colorow's band
OF Utes. The Secretary says that
efforts should be made for the restric-
ton OF property to the Indians.
Inc report approves the recon-
mendation in General Sheridan's re-
| port touching on the extension of all
possible aid by the general govern
inent to the National Guard of the
different States, and the suggestion of
system of national encampment for
State military at the expense of the
national government.
CLAsHING OF DEPARTMENTS.
He recommends that the pc sers of
the treasury and war departments be
clearly defined by legislative act,
owing to the frequent disallowance of
accounts on the part Of the treasury
department, and he advises an in
crease of appropriations for the sup
ply of ordnance for the departments
for dynamite, torpedo guns and shells
Charged with high explosives fired by
means OF gunpowder.
lie recommends the appointment OF
a Secretary of War, and of an Assist
ant Acknowledgement to advise and
assist in legal and technical questions
daily occurring.
OUR DEFENsELEss CONDITION.
Attention is called to the fact that
the Pacific Coast is destitute of fortifi-
cations, guns and armament of every
description, while San Francisco is
without a single gun which can be
fired with safety with the present
charges of powder and modern pro-
jectiles.
Favorable endorsement is given to
the Lieutenant Generals recommend
alton that the present strength of the
army be increased by 5000 men, and
particular attention is called to the
Importance to increase the artillery of
the service and also certain changes
in the present organization of the ar
tillery regiments. 49,
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS.
The Secretary renews the recon-
mendation re sarding the enactment of
laws for the punishment of civilian
witnesses who refuse to testify, and
asks for authority to secure the assis-,
lance Of civilians and p lice officers
in arresting deserters. and for a re-
visioA of the Articles of War, which
have remained unaltered here, while
in England and elsewhere the
military codes are modified in ac-
cordance with the requirements of
modern times.
The Secretary recommends legisla-
ton regulating and making uniform
punishment by courts martial, defining
the application of the Statute of Linni-
tation in the case OF deserters, and
fixing the liability of minors to mill
tary jurisdiction after enlistment.

current year amounts to only 81 ,309,-

Inmates for a military -stabli -hment

OF the service.
During recent years the appro-
priation for the poration of tn

the c 'st Their Of, an the failure t., ap-

tice, and one or more new breech,
loading guns and morters be furnished

LONDON, December THE Morn
ing Post. commenting on President
Cleveland's message, says: "The
message will produce a sensation in
Europe "a we'll as in America, an
-trengthen the free trade cause
throughout the world"
The Daily Ne,cs says: "Seldom
has an American President had a
m re important lesson to teach. The
fact is, the policy OF protection has
been redu ed to practical and thee
retical absurdity. The stone now set
rolling will not stop until the idol OF
protection is broken in pieces"
The Times saws: at is remarkable
that Mr.. Cleveland has the courage
to confront the serried phalanx of
protectionists on the eve OF u contest
Tor the Presidency. As far as Eng
land is concerned, it is questionable
whether America will not con ront us
in formidable rivalry in both home
aud foreign markets "
The Chronicle says: ''1f the policy
Of President leveland is accepted its
effect on the trade of the world cam
not fail to be immense"

GARLAND,S REPORT.
A Host OF Recommends tfons-
Trial Statistics.

Attorney General Garland's report
for the fiscal year shows that the Or
binary suits now pending in the Court
Of Claims number ITO, inv living
sums OF over $13,OOO,OOO. The num-
Der OF cases filed under the Bowman
act is 1919, involving about 500, 0OO,-
00). French spoilation petitions
number $3.50, representing 24S6 YES
sells and about $30,000,000 1777
civil suits we're terminated, 922 being
judgments for defendants. 7O3 dis
missed, 26 appealed to the Circuit
Court and "a to the Supreme Court.
During the year there were 1900
criminal prosecutions, mostly for vio-
lations of customs and internal
revenue.
HE RECOMMENDS
Fees OF marshalls in the territories,
pay of deputy marshals, revision of
the fee bill, substitution OF the fiscal for
the calendar year, protection to civil
officers and witnesses, fees of witnesses
and jurors, criminal procedure paying,
a Government penitentiary and re-
formatory, legislation for restoring
and preserving court rec rds, inquiry
into the judicial system of the country,
new accommodations for the Supreme
Court and other courts, commission
of the United States, and the extend
ing of the jurisdiction of Federal
Courts to crimes committed upon
American vessels navigating in the
Great Lakes.
Congress is urged to take some
action for the settlement of outstand-
ing claims of witnesses and jurors for
services rendered during and prior to
the year 1888.
INCREASED EXPENSES.
The Attorney General says that in
creased expenses have been exper-
fenced by the department since the
passage of the interstate commerce
bill, as prior to the passage of that
bill, marshals were furnished with
free transportation over the various
lines of railway, but since that date,
no free transportation has been fur
nished. The railways charge mileage
greater than the fees allowed mar
shals for travel in such services.

1t is not appare how such change
can have any injurious effects upon
our manufacturers, on the contrary,
it would appear to give them a better
chance in foreign markets with the
manufacturers OF other countries, who
cheaper their wares by free material
and thu. our people might have the
opportunity Of extending their sales
beyond the limits OF home consump-
ton, saving them from the depres i'm
of interruption i'll business and loss
caused by glutted domestic market,
and afTording their employees more
certain and St ady labor, with its re-
sulting quiet and contentment. The
question thus imperatively pre-
scented for solution should
be approached in spirit higher than
partnership, and considered in the
light of that regard for patriotic duty
which should characterize the action
OF those entrusted with the veal of a
con6ding people and the obligation to
declared party policy, and principle
should not interfere with prompt and
effective action. Both of the grea,

KIND WORDS.

We appreciate the following kind
words from the New Orleans Pic
ayune and Lake Charles CONNER
cial. Brethren, accept our thanks
for your good wishes:
A BRAVE BANNER FLOATING ON
THE BREEZE.--The Bossier Banner,
one of the best of the State weekly
papers, has commenced its twenty
sixth volume, having been estab.
lished in 1859. 1t is now excellently
conducted by Mr.. W. Fl. Scanland,
who declares that it has been his
constant aim to furnish a clean
paper, entirely free from vulgarity,
abuse, personal spite and petty ami
mosities, and having for its highest
aim the welfare and advancement of
the interests of his section of the
State.
Bossier parish is one of the most
important of Northwest Louisiana
and is represented by an able and
energetic press. Long may our ex-
cellent contemporary, the Banner,
wave.-NeU Orleans Picayune.
The Bossier Banner, last week
entered upon its Goth volume. May
it score its SD, thereby making a
volume of volumes under its present

BOSSIER LANDS.

We know of no good reason why
this section of Louisiana should not
have a genuine, healthy boom, in
this day of progress and prosperity.
There is no reasonable chance for
a practical business man to make a
mistake in selecting a tract of land.
either in the hills or river bottoms
both valuable and highly productive.
Our lands-although more valuable
than those of many other sections
that are now commanding so much
attention-are very cheap in price,
fertile, well watered and abundantly
timbered, and should command the
attention of buyers. Taken as a
whole, for general agricultural pur-
poses, there is not better, finer
or more promising section under the
shining sun, than our Red River
valley. 1t does not take back seat
for any locality in the known word.
To those who want good, cheap
homes, in a mild climate, where
billiards., cyclones, grass-hoppers
and total failures of crops are un.
known, we say come to Bossier par
ish. A magnificent future awaits
this naturally favored land, and a
glorious future is assured beyond
all question, to those who come to
work and to win.
